Chapter 764
The most important advice Kawazuki gave Tsutani Kazuo was to take advantage of their huge advantage in artillery fire.
Let Zhao Zhiguo's troops succumb to the power of their artillery fire.
The power of their artillery is much simpler than crossing the river and attacking at night.
Kazuo Tsutani suddenly understood that when they were fighting, the attack on the front position of the Chinese army was a heavy artillery fire attack, which caused heavy losses to the Chinese soldiers on the position.
After arriving here, they did not concentrate a single artillery fire on Zhao Zhiguo and the others.
After understanding this, Tsutani Kazuo ordered the troops to have a good rest, especially the artillery troops, and use their cannons to prepare a good meal for Zhao Zhiguo after dawn tomorrow.
After Zhao Zhiguo and others retreated to the east bank, no soldiers were arranged above the bridge!
"The two armies faced each other across the river. The Japanese army could reach out to the east side of the river, but we could not reach out to the west side."
Zhao Zhiguo is very aware of the advantages of both the enemy and ourselves, and this advantage has to put Zhao Zhiguo's troops on the defensive.
Soldiers from both sides faced each other across the river. The Japanese army was able to give full play to their artillery superiority, but Zhao Zhiguo and the others were unable to defeat the Japs. Fighting this kind of battle was the most useless thing.
As long as the little devils can't cross the river, Zhao Zhiguo can't do anything against them.
"Captain, you haven't had any rest all day. You'd better go to bed early. I'll keep an eye on you at the sentry post."
Qin Dongsheng has already inspected all the sentry posts. Regardless of whether the Japanese army will make a sneak attack or cross the river, they will send people to keep an eye on them, even if the probability is only one in tens of thousands.
"I can't sleep. Tomorrow is the most difficult day."
Today their losses were not small, but they also caused heavy damage to the Japanese army. But tomorrow, their losses will also be not small. Will the Japanese artillery fire have the same effect as today?
Zhao Zhiguo is not a god, nor can he make a formation to block all the Japanese artillery shells.
"Captain, let's leave tomorrow's affairs to tomorrow. Anyway, we don't know how the little devils will attack tomorrow."
In Qin Dongsheng's heart, Zhao Zhiguo was already half a prophet. Only by being able to get in front of the little devils every step of the way could they avoid greater losses.
If Zhao Zhiguo can still predict the enemy every step of the way tomorrow, Qin Dongsheng will really enshrine Zhao Zhiguo as a god.
Regardless of the sacrificed soldiers or the surviving soldiers, the number of Japanese soldiers they killed during the day was enough to satisfy many people.
"You are more generous. I have to bring as many soldiers back alive as possible."
These soldiers are all sons of Wangxian County, and they must always give an account to the people of Wangxian County.
At this time, not only Zhao Zhiguo couldn't sleep, there was another person who also had insomnia, and that was Mr. Yan in Bingzhou.
It was Mr. Yan who arranged for people to deliberately leak Zhao Zhiguo's location to the Japanese army. He wanted to divert the attention of the Japanese army and distract the Japanese army's strength.
Unexpectedly, the result was that the Japanese army directly mobilized troops from the rear without using any soldiers on the front line.
Moreover, after Zhao Zhiguo's troops were besieged by the Japanese army, they no longer had the ability to attack the Japanese army's logistics troops.
After the Japanese troops on the front line had sufficient ammunition, their attacks on them never stopped.
The troops of the Jinsui Army were struggling to support themselves, but now they don't even have a single helper, let alone a match for the Japanese army.
Just this evening, three pieces of bad news came from the front line. Their defense line collapsed, and the Japanese army marched straight in, attacking the city and stronghold all the way, and had penetrated deep into the hinterland of Bingzhou area.
If they don't have reinforcements, I'm afraid it won't take half a month for the Japanese army to meet Mr. Yan at the foot of Bingzhou City.
Can Mr. Yan still be called Mr. Yan after losing Bingzhou? This is his biggest concern.
In this era, if you don't have money or power, not to mention the army will follow you, the bandits are not willing to follow you.
If Mr. Yan is accompanied by another person who is having an affair with the little devil, he might add insult to injury and take the opportunity to take Mr. Yan's head to the little devil in exchange for glory and wealth.
The collapse of the Jinsui Army is what is happening right now, and Mr. Yan now regrets what he did.
Even if he was a little more impartial about Zhao Zhiguo, the Jinsui Army would not have suffered such a misfortune.
There is no regret medicine in the world. Mr. Yan has no chance to regret it anymore.
Under such a critical situation, the cooperation process between the two armies has been accelerated.
The Central Army also knew that the Japs were not to be trifled with, and it would not be easy for them to resist the Japanese attack on their own.
If there are troops to contain some Japanese troops behind enemy lines, it can give China a chance to breathe.
However, Zhao Zhiguo no longer had time to care about these things. He fell into a drowsy sleep in the second half of the night.
At daybreak, he was still awakened by a nightmare, almost thinking that a kid was coming.
"How's the situation up front?"
The sky was dark, and Zhao Zhiguo fell into the dim light of dawn.
"Captain, are you awake?" Qin Dongsheng didn't expect Zhao Zhiguo to wake up so early.
"It's so quiet, how can you not wake up?"
Living on the battlefield, I have long been familiar with the noisy environment on the battlefield. The quieter the morning, the easier it is for people to fall asleep.
"Hey, hey, the little Japs haven't made any movement. They probably thought we had troops defending on the west bank."
It was just dawn at this time, and the Japs were not yet ready to attack.
"It is estimated that in half an hour, the little devil will have finished his breakfast. By then, everything will no longer be hidden. The top priority for our troops should be to guard against the Japanese artillery."
The Japs' artillery poses the greatest threat, and this is what Zhao Zhiguo and the others must guard against.
"In addition to leaving observation posts, our soldiers have entered the underground passage!" Qin Dongsheng had already made arrangements, "Are we really not going to guard the bridge?"
The bridge in Anyang Town is the only access point. Abandoning the bridge is equivalent to letting the little devil into the west side of the town.
"If we don't release the little devil, we will only be bombed. And Kazuo Tsutani will definitely think that we will focus on defending the bridge, but I don't!"
Since the beginning of the war, the Japanese army has always used heavy troops to seize major transportation routes.
Even if he gets to Anyang Town, the little devil will not change.
Zhao Zhiguo and the others did not have many troops in their hands, and sooner or later the Japanese army would use their own advantages to occupy the bridge.
Since he was going to lose it sooner or later, Zhao Zhiguo simply took a step back. It was better to conserve his troops and engage in street fighting with the Japanese army.
For one more soldier who survives, they may kill one more Japs in street fighting.
"To be honest, captain, I have never seen this style of play. Where did you learn this style of play?"
Although Qin Dongsheng did not have a formal academic background, he did have some theoretical knowledge, but he also believed that Zhao Zhiguo's tactics would never be taught in a regular military academy.
